I think I prefer a little less backbone in a synthetic though. The super soft tips make up for it. I also wish he offered a 26 or 28mm knot instead of 30mm. I would have preferred something bigger than 24, but not all the way up to 30.
If the Tuxedo is even softer than a Plissoft-type knot, then it’s a winner in my book. I don’t like too much backbone either — was thinking for a while of having Larry at Whipped Dog drill the handle 2–4 mm more, but then decided against it for just that reason.
The 30 mm knot is maybe a little excessive for most, but I’m sure head shavers can appreciate it. I used to think 26 mm is ideal, but lately I’m back to being a 24 mm fan. Go figure… Glad to hear you’re enjoying the Tuxedo!
Oh, and
December:
I’ve received Barrister and Mann’s
Seville and APShaveCo’s
Tuxedo 24 mm knot in the last couple of days.
Whenever I go to shave, I assume there’s someone else on the planet shaving, so I say “I’m gonna go shave, too.”
